Images from a Programme of Archaeological Watching Briefs and Historic Building Recording Surveys at Perranporth to Goonhavern Saints Trail, Cornwall, January 2021-December 2022

This digital archive contains image data from a programme of archaeological watching briefs and historic building recording surveys during works ahead of the construction of a multiuse trail between Perranporth and Goonhavern as part of the wider Saints Trail Scheme. The work was undertaken by Cornwall Archaeological Unit between 5th January 2021 and 16th December 2022. Continuous watching briefs were carried out at the Bolingey Bone Mill and Toad Hall Culvert sites, during vegetation clearance and groundworks carried out in preparation for the trail construction. Vegetation clearance was undertaken by machine using a toothed bucket and shredder, topsoil stripping and ground reduction by machine using a toothless bucket. The topsoil strip was watched either down to the surface of the subsoil or during removal of any overburden and surface debris. The subsoil was not exposed in all cases. No below ground features were identified during the works and no context numbers were issued. No finds were recovered. A photographic record was made of the structural features revealed during the works at both sites.
